Timberlake and will.i.am form company

Justin Timberlake and will.i.am have formed production company Jawbreakers to record material for Timberlake's new album, according to will.i.am.

That will.i.am Peas is a busy chap. A few days ago we reported that he'd set up his own label, now we hear that he's formed a music production company with Justin Timberlake, Jawbreakers, to record new material for Timberlake's new album. It's been widely reported that Timberlake was working principally with producer Rick Rubin, but it seems that he's been working with the Black Eyed Pea on it too, under the name of the aforementioned Jawbreakers.

will.i.am told Billboard: "It stands for Justin and Will breaks. It's Justin and I's production team when we do things together. We did half of Justin's record and some songs on Macy Gray's new album."

He went on to describe Timberlake's new solo album as "dope", and continued: "I can't explain it, that's how dope it is. He just surprised me again. I was surprised that I was even going to like Justin Timberlake. Then he turned me into a fan, and I've become a fan. That means you are so talented that you are changing people's vocabulary. Hat's off, skull off and scalp."
